Best air con Australia: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries win 3 years running

Sponsored by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air-Conditioners Australia

It’s official. Australia has a favourite brand of air conditioner. For the third year running, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air-Conditioners have been recognised by CHOICE as the best air conditioner brand in Australia and awarded Canstar’s Most Satisfied Customers Award for the second year in a row in the air conditioners category.

Built for dependability and energy efficiency, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air-Conditioners Australia (MHIAA) are solid, no fuss units, that have won back-to-back awards for happy customers and reliability.

The respected CHOICE annual recommendation is awarded to products or services that out-perform their competitors in rigorous lab tests, customer satisfaction and reliability over the last 12 months. Overall, MHIAA out-performed all other brands with an overall Best Brand Score of 71%, to be awarded the Best Brand of Air Conditioners in 2020.

Canstar Blue’s annual air-conditioner review rates air-conditioning brands on functionality and features, noise, ease of use, reliability, value for money and overall consumer satisfaction. From a survey of over 1,000 participants, MHIAA was the only brand to receive a five-star rating for overall satisfaction to take out the 2020 Award.

Innovation

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries develop cutting edge technology across the energy, space, aviation, automotive and environment sectors, which extends to their innovative air-conditioners, built for the harsh Australian summer.

Design award

The awards don’t stop at quality and efficiency though. The Avanti PLUS model is as efficient as it is stylish. It won Australia’s highest honour for design and innovation at the 61st annual Good Design Awards in recognition of its outstanding design and innovation.

It’s one of the quietest split systems on the market and incorporates an energy-saving motion sensor and improved automatic mode for even more precise temperature control. It also incorporates MHIAA’s ‘Clean Air Technology’ which captures and neutralises fine smoke particles, allergens, odours bacteria and viruses.

Aussie Thermomix alternative weighs in on Choice scandal

It has not been a good month for Thermomix! Whoever knew such emotion could be attached to a kitchen appliance! Mind you, it’s a very expensive and reportedly life-changing one! The brand was subject to not only a product recall, but was also handed a Choice Shonky Award for ”shredding the public’s trust”. And in the process, it broke the record for public nominations.

The people behind the recently launched competitor, MyCook Premium, want to remind people there is a viable alternative. Designed and manufactured in Europe by the Taurus Group, it works by induction, meaning it transmits heat through the air and by contact with resistors. As a result, they claim the cooking and cooling process is faster, with greater temperature control and a cooking temperature that reaches a high-heat of up to 120 degrees.

Hamish Ingham, head chef and owner of Bar H in Surry Hills and winner of the prestigious Josephine Pignolet Young Chef of the Year in 2004, has been trialling the MyCook Premium. He said: “The induction heating is far better than any competitor models I have tried. It’s much faster and more accurate. And the steam feature is also far superior to similar machines.”

Like the cult Thermomix, it’s not cheap, at $1,890. Also like Thermomix, it’s only available through ambassadors via in-home demonstrations. There’s a special introductory price of $1,650 until the end of October.

Do you have a Thermomix? Do you love it? Would you try this equally expensive but lesser known rival?
